X, Elon Musk’s social networking site formerly generally known as Twitter, has added a new image generator to its Grok assistant. But after going live for a few hours on Saturday, it gave the impression of the product did disappear for some users.
So that is new @grok image generation called Aurora just shipped on Saturday. What do you think that, people?
It looks prefer it was trained by them, no rankings or details, just use it.
Like the primary X image generator added to Grok in October, this one, called Aurora, appears to have a few limitations.
Available via the Grok tab on X mobile apps and the net, Aurora can generate images of public and copyrighted figures like Mickey Mouse with none complaints. The model had loads of nudes in our temporary tests, but graphic content akin to “an image of a bloody (Donald) Trump” was not prohibited.

Aurora’s origins are a bit unclear.
Employees at xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence startup that develops Grok and lots of AI-based X features, announced Aurora in X posts early Saturday. However, the posts didn’t reveal whether xAI trained Aurora itself, built on top of an existing image generator, or whether, as was the case with xAI’s first image generator, Flux, it worked with a third party.
At least one xAI worker he said nonetheless, they helped fine-tune the Aurora.

In any case, Aurora seems to excel in photorealistic images, including landscape and still life images. But it is not flawless. X users posted Aurora-generated images showing objects unnaturally connecting to one another and other people missing fingers. (Hands are extremely difficult with image generators.)
It’s a great model for some things, however it’s removed from perfect https://t.co/AOcs92M5TF
Aurora’s release comes after X made Grok free for all users; previously, the chatbot was protected by a Premium X subscription for $8 per 30 days. Free users can send as much as 10 messages to Grok every two hours and generate as much as 3 images per day.
In other X and xAI news this week, xAI closed a $6 billion funding round, is reportedly working on a standalone app for Grok, and will be near releasing a next-gen Grok model, Grok 3.
This is simply a beta version, but it would improve in a short time
